One rule they forget to mention in this e-mail, but was mentioned
in articles reporting on it is: It is an offence to put false
information into a census form. I can not remember what the
penalty was, but what they were suggesting was illegal under Australian
law. I think a similar rule applies here.

Anyway what about the other cults of:

vi/linux/alpha
emacs/bsd/intel

or other possible combinations :-)

Regards,
Mark
